Projects: few examples of my past and current work

Cameroon Tourist in construction

Cameroon Tourist is an intiative of the Rural Development Center (RUDEC) based in Belo, Cameroon. The idea of the project is to promote Cameroon as a travel destination for the European tourists. The development of the tourism would aid local businesses and RUDEC will direct part of the revenue for the development of sustainable communities and education for the orphans. We volunteered to support the initiative by creating fun and informative website where users will be able to find and book different holiday tours, activities and accommodation in Cameroon. More information about RUDEC can be found on their website http://www.rudec.org/.

Halfords http://www.halfords.nl/

My work involved PSD to XHTML work, in other words construction of an XHTML prototype of the website based on the provided designs. The prototype was then used in the technical development resulting in this fully database driven website for a Dutch company Halfords. My work also involved implementation of several jQuery plugins and few other JavaScript enhancements to the functionality.

US Blackjack http://us.blackjack.com/

Website for an online casino was completed with Reedus Design. The website was first built in xhtml/css using custom PHP templating system, and later was integrated into client's own CMS system that they used for the previous version of the website. The CMS imposed a whole new set of own xhtml rules going beyond the recommendations of the w3c to reinforce the compatibility with older browser versions.
